Postponed due to inclement weather
On Wednesday February 20, Senators Singleton and Addiego will join Senate President Steve Sweeney for a town hall meeting as he pushes his plan for increases in your health care costs and ending the current public worker pension system. The time to fight back is NOW!
Join your CWA sisters and brothers on Wednesday February 20 as we stand united to push back against these attacks on our rights. The town hall will be at Rowan College at Burlington County in the Votta Hall at 300 College Circle, Mt. Laurel, NJ at 6:00pm. (seats are limited, so be sure to arrive early.)
CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW YOU’LL BE THERE TO FIGHT FOR YOU HEALTH CARE AND PENSION
Over the last eight years, millionaires and corporations have received billions of dollars in tax cuts, while you have been forced to pay more for your health care and pensions. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
In solidarity,
Gaye Palmer
President CWA 1033

Day after Thanksgiving
CWA Members: In response to your questions, CWA inquired about the status of the day after Thanksgiving. Governor Murphy will not be signing an Executive Order to close the State of NJ this Friday for non-essential employees. We are sharing this information so all members are aware.
While it has been 10 years since a Governor has closed on the day after Thanksgiving, we disagree with this decision. We had hoped that members would be able to enjoy time with their families without the use of personal leave time. We have discussed with the Governor’s office, and we expect Departments will soon be notified, that requests for time off will be granted as liberally as possible.
Although we have never before had the day after Thanksgiving off as part of our Contract, we will bring this matter up at the bargaining table. However, we continue to believe that the day after Thanksgiving should be a day when the State is closed as a matter of policy and are unwilling to trade any of our existing holidays for this day.
We wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe holiday.
